Volunteer Opportunities

Beechwood West #1 Home Association is always looking for motivated volunteers. 

Within the Tennis program the following opportunities exist:

• Opening and Close Activities

Each year the courts require the nets and windscreens to be put up in the spring and taken down in the fall. Volunteers can expect to spend 1 to 2 hours twice a year assisting with these activities.

• Assisting with Children lessons

Children lessons are run from spring to fall, with the larger need for volunteers in the summer months. Volunteers can expect to assist with games and drills and encouraging children. Each class is 45 mins long and there are 5 classes in each 1-week session. Volunteers would be expected to commit to assisting at least 1 class for the entire session.

• Assisting with Open House Activities

BW1 runs a yearly open house to showcase our facilities and services to our members. Volunteers can expect to welcome members, assist with children's programming, showcase their skills (if desired), and assist with member inquiries. The commitment would be 1 day for approximately 3 hours.

• Regular Court Maintenance

Our courts are well sheltered by trees which means that debris often shows up on the court after storms or high winds. Volunteers can expect to assist with mild cleanup at the courts as needed or escalate more serious issues to the tennis instructor or chair of tennis operations. The commitment would be daily in the morning before lessons begin and should take approximately 30 mins. This would likely be well suited for someone also assisting with lessons.

• Assisting with Tournament Activities

Well not yet in place, BW1 is working to host a tournament for children. Should this move forward volunteers can expect to participate in the following ways:

• Welcoming participants and answering inquires

• Score keeping or umpiring games

• Assisting with award and prize ceremonies

• Setup and tear down each day

Within the Swim program the following opportunities exist: 

• Opening and Close Activities

Help us kick off the summer and wrap up the year by setting up facility equipment in the spring and safely packing it away in the fall. This is a perfect role for residents who want to help out but can only spare a few hours over two weekends a year. 

• Assisting with Children lessons

Support our lead instructors by helping organize the kids, distributing equipment, and ensuring classes stay safe and focused. This role is great for anyone who loves working with youth and has aspirations of being a lifeguard. 

• Assisting with Swim Tournament

Keep our community swim meets running smoothly and on time by timing races, staging swimmers, or helping with concessions. It’s a fun, fast-paced way to get involved in the action.

Within the Facility the following opportunities exist: 

• General Maintenance and Cleanup

Keep our community spaces looking sharp by helping with basic outdoor upkeep like raking leaves, sweeping walkways, and picking up litter. This is a flexible, drop-in style role that is great for residents who enjoy working outside and want to pitch in whenever their schedule allows. 

• Painting and Staining

Help brighten up our shared facilities by applying fresh coats of paint to high-traffic areas like our washrooms and outdoor benches. All supplies are provided, making this an easy, hands-on project for anyone looking to make a visible impact over a single weekend.
